MQ8 - Why did communist regimes generate terror and violence on such a massive scale?

Well, you have the essence of it. It's clear that these regimes had a fairly changeable idea of who the enemy was. Of course the people from the old regime were targeted, but also long time supporters and officials who were accused (often unjustly) of becoming to bourgeoisie. This was probably a matter of getting rid of rivals in a climb to power. Then again, there was a lot of paranoia (sometimes justified) that these people were influenced, or under the thumb of, Western "imperialists" . These were expressed (watch me use evidence to support my analysis) in purges, for example the Terror in the Soviet Union (USSR) and the Cultural Revolution in China.

Well it all comes down to the way the question is asked, right? If women's rights is going to be part of a group of comparisons, a light gloss over might do it. Alternatively, you might get asked directly about women's rights, then you'd need all those specifics to have a complete answer. That is, provide SPECIFIC evidence. Evil, right? That's how we play up here in the big leagues. Prepare for both. The goal is to deeply understand, not do the minimum to have a chance at a good grade. Your effort pays off, and then the grade follows.

What was the appeal of communism, in terms of both its promise and its achievements? To what extent did it fulfill that promise?

BinghamWelcome class of 2019. Some years students collaborate in this space effectively, some years not so much. One thing I know, collaboration significantly enhances learning. If you want access to my thoughts, this is the collaboration space to use. Most people propose an answer to margin questions, big picture question, or anything else related to managing Strayer. Other people can then comment leading to a stronger answer. I'll keep an eye on these pages, and pop in when I think you need me. Archives
